Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you all for appearing before us.
Mr. von Finckenstein, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Industry both have expressed serious concerns about the impact of this decision, what impact it will have on innovation and competition in the Internet sector. Specifically with smaller ISPs, their only incentive really is the unlimited Internet plans to make them competitive in the marketplace, and the CRTC decision was going to take that away.
Now, I'm a member of Parliament from southern Ontario. It's a rural riding. I'm very concerned about the decision and what that would lead to: higher Internet prices and less choice for my constituents. I have to say I'm very relieved to hear that you've agreed with the government to review this decision, but what assurances can I give my constituents and Canadians that the review will lead to a different result?
